3.0 FOCUS OF REVIEW:
The ARC’s role is to provide a recommendation to the Community Development Director regarding
the consistency of the proposed building design with the Community Design Guidelines.
Community Design Guidelines: www.slocity.org/home/showdocument?id=2104
4.0 DESIGN GUIDELINES and DISCUSSION ITEMS
Community Design Guidelines (CDG) are used by the staff, City Council, and advisory bodies in the
review of proposed development projects to help ensure that such projects meet the City's
expectation for the quality and character of new development. The proposed project, multi-family
structures proposed to be constructed on vacant parcels between existing deve lopment, is to be
evaluated against the guidelines provided for Infill Development (CDG § 5.3). These are intended to
provide for infill projects of high architectural quality that are compatible with existing development.
Staff has identified the discussion items below related to consistency with these Guidelines.
Highlighted Sections Discussion Items
General Design Principles
§ 2.2 (C) Building Design;
Attention to Details
The Commission should consider whether additional detailing, such as
window trim, should be encouraged.
Infill Development

5.3 (A.1) General Principles,
compatibility
The Commission should discuss whether, or to what degree, the design
of the buildings, which are larger than others in the neighborhood, are
compatible in scale with adjacent buildings and others in the
neighborhood.
In particular, the abrupt transition to a 3-story height adjacent to the
smaller dwelling to the west of the project, and the bulk and
prominence of the two 2-story gabled building forms on either side of
the entry driveway contribute to a perception of height and bulk that
could have a negative impact on adjacent smaller buildings.
5.3 (C) Visual impacts from
building height
The Commission should consider whether, as noted above, and as more
specifically discussed in this guideline, the proposed structures should
set back upper floors to reduce impacts on adjacent smaller homes (i.e.
the adjacent dwelling to the west).
5.3 (D) Outdoor living areas Though balconies are encouraged by this standard, the Commission
should consider whether deck areas provided for units in Buildings A
and C are designed located in a manner that will avoid privacy and noise
impacts to the neighboring dwelling (to the west).
5.3 (E) Exterior finish materials The Commission should consider whether the exclusive use of fiber-
cement board as a siding material represents an appropriate mixture of
materials, and whether an additional material found in the
neighborhood could be incorporated to accent this material for
additional variety and visual interest.
